An emphasis can be not only the floor, but also any object of furniture or decor, door or lamp.

Also in a long narrow corridor, we need to consider the laying of the floor covering. If we are talking about rectangular elements (laminate, parquet board, etc.), lay them out not along the walls, but across. Also perfectly will work the layout diagonally.

5 Proper furniture

In a very narrow corridor, if possible, it is better to abandon the abundance of furniture, at least overall. For sure - no massive cabinets. The maximum that can afford is - the wardrobe to the ceiling, ideally - with mirror or glossy white doors. It will mimic the wall and reflect the light.

Below is an interesting option for designing a wardrobe - photo printing with a perspective, which also creates the illusion of a more spacious space.

In extremely narrow corridors, it is not necessary to think not only about the cabinets, but also about the chest and banquettes. The absolute maximum is a narrow console, a small hanger, pouf. So that the space does not look empty, trees on the walls of the painting, photo or posters.
